Yay!

We decided the home daycare is going to be the best fit! Not only are we pleased with the atmosphere but also with the fact that it's in a home! We really like the family that will be taking care of Jackson, they genuinunly seem to have his best interest at heart.
I really want to join the YMCA. Not only for myself to get in shape! But also because of the activities that are avaliable for little kids. My sister-in-law Julie is taking our nephew there and it just seems to be a great way to get the socializing started for the babies! It's just realllly expensive per month, not sure if it's something we can afford to add to the budget, but I'd really like to try.
I think I want a new job...

Weekend

Matthew was away all this weekend, Jackson and I really miss him when he's gone! Not to forget the fact that sometimes I need a few minutes away from "mom" roll. Not in a "this child is driving me crazy" way, just more a few minutes alone each day. When I don't get those few minutes each day, I find myself losing my patient very quickly and I hate that about myself. I hate Jackson to see or hear me lose my patience. I know that's probably a normal thing in any parenting team, but I still disappointment myself after the moment has passed.
We're going to meet with an in home daycare today! Extremely excited because I am not a public daycare kind of mom! I just do not like the whole system and how it should be working- I don't feel Jackson is getting the attentino and care he needs each day. The owner of the daycare has been great to us, but I'm still not happy or comfortable with the situation.
Enough for now! back to work!

First Post

I've never blogged before, but my friend Rachel, who has a very nice blog, has turned me on to the idea of keeping all of my crazy life in one place!
I am a mother to a ten and half month old son. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me! Well, the second best thing after marrying Matthew! :)
We have the best time as a family. I'm not going to say that times don't get tough and that we wouldn't like a little extra money in our pockets, but over all, we are incredibly blessed. I work four days a week for an Insurance Company and it's still not enough time to be home with Jackson. I feel like he's growing up so fast and that I'm missing those little things that take place in his everyday life. I would love to be a stay at home mom for the time being, but it is just not in the budget.
